N- C.. as second class matter under Act March 4, 1879. MONDAY, MAY 21, 1984 A Real Cleanup Tliis week has been set apart as “Clean- RP Week” for North Wilkesboro. The North Wilkesboro Woman’s Club and city aothorities are co-operating in promoting tills annual event. This year let us all lend a hand to make *Dlean-up Week” what it is supposed to be. Let us cle'oi rubbish from our lawns and back yards from the alleys and from the vacant lot.. We boast that we have an attractive city but think of how much better it could look with just a little work in cleaning up the worst looking spots. Some of the vacant lots present somewhat of an un favorable appearance. The owners should attend to cleaning them up. Treatment Of Teachers According to a survey made by the Associated Press, teachers of the nation have bright prospects of receiving better pay the coming year. The survey reveals surprisingly hopeful trends in everj' state mentioned except North Carolina. CrJifomia, which pays her teachers on an average of $2,000 annually, is consid ering the question of restoring cuts rang ing from 5 to 12 >4 psi” West Vir ginia, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Virginia, Utah and many other states have prom ised more adequate compensation. But no word from those in authority has been heard in the Old North State. Hope still remains. That hope lies in the next legislature. According to news dispatches from all sections of the state, tile friends of education seem to be tak ing a part in the primary campaigns of legislative candidates. While teachers in a rural county such as Wilkes are not as hard hit by the pres ent low salaries, it does seem ridiculous for a state to ask teachers that have spent years in preparation for seiwice in their profession to teach for the average salary *of $546 per year, A teacher who has to pay $25 or $30 per month for board, has little left to buy clothes, pay insurance, and lay anything away for the future. , The trend in other states is toward bet ter pay. Whether North Carolina keeps step is entirely another matter. A Terrible Crime Most of the kidnapings which have been called to the attention of North Carolini ans ai-e too far away for us to fully realize the heinousness of the crime. The present wave seems to originate with the abduction and murder of the Lindbergh baby. Only mothers could visualize the sufferings of Anne Morrow Lindbergh and then only in a vague sort of way. But those who read the gruesome details of the experience of little June Robles, whether able to truly realize the serious ness of the crime or not, could not but be impressed with the horror of the kidnap ing. A headline in an afternoon daily last week read: “Horror Still Grips Mind of Kidnaped Child.” For almost nineteen days, the six-year-old child was chained to an iron cage in a desert hole with only the sky and a cactus bush over her. For al most nineteen days, she lay there, unable to get out and play witii other children. And occasionally, her abductors came at ni^t to visit her and place a few things for her to eat. The remarkable thing is that June did not go insane. It was a 'horrible experi ence. It was a happy termination of this p^cular kidnaping that the victim was murdered as was the Lindbergh child. How to prevent these kidnapings is a iwoblem that confronts tihe nation. Whatever else one may say, it is to the credit of the fede^ government that evwything possible is being done to make crime impopular.

Whether other tabulations wilLbe less. favorable to Mr. Roosevelt is another question. The chances are the final vote will be proportionately favorable to the administration. , / While the Literary Digest was sending out the news of the “new deal” approval, political observers were reading their papers and learning that Pinchot, a Roosevelt Republican in Pennsylvania, had gone down in defeat at the hands of Sen ator David A. Reed, one of the most bitter critics of Roosevelt. Senator Reed took the stump to denounce the “new deal” program, while Pinchot regularly asserted his belief in the fundamental principles of the Roosevelt doctrine. Democrats, who were ready to celebrate if Reed had been defeated, pretended to be unimpressed. Figure the results in Penn sylvania and then look over the Digest’s poll and you arrive at no conclusion. Is the “new deal” in the saddle, or are there still millions who disagree? Frankly, we can’t draw any definite idea of the trend from these instances. We merely cite them as interesting evidence of paradoxial returns. 'll ,l>lt ot Bunaliine lUtk- ye, Aft» uwwjliig of » olbnd,-. The Book the first line of which reads, "The Holy Bible.” and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON XO DAMEL AND NO ESTHER Everyone who has read the Old Testament at all knows about Daniel, who spent a night with the lions rather than give up his religion; and about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, his three, sturdy associates. They were cast into a fiery furnace but walked comfortably upon the hot coals and came forth without even smelling of smoak. Similarlyv we are well ac quainted with Esther, the beautiful Jewess, who became queen and had the satisfaction of seeing Haman, the wicked prime minister, hung upon the high gallows which he had built for Mordecai, the Jew. These are two heroic figures, Daniel and Es ther, and it is sad indeed to be tcld that the scientists, in digging around among the ruins of those far-away times, have been unable to find any trace of a prime minister named Dan iel or a queen called Esther. We are forced re luctantly to conclude that the two books bear ing these honored names are splendid pieces of Jewish propaganda, written by patriotic gen tlemen who sought to uphold the spirits of their fellow-exiles and, in the case of Daniel, nerve them for one of the most heroic struggles in history—one that in spite of overwhelming odds succeeded. .A.S with Daniel, so with Esther. The author of the book that bears her name made her vic tory complete, as we shall have occasion to note more fully when we come back to her again. You will remember that her uncle, Mordecai, a Jew, was prime minister. And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal appaVel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with -a garment of fine linen and purple and . . . The Jews had light, and glad.>es8, and joy, and honour . . . And many of the people of the land be came Jews; the fear of the Jews came upon them. But these verses which make so brave a showing for the Jews, are not an historic document; only a pious hope. The Jews, In regarding them, buckled their belts a little tighter and took courage. In taking leave of the Old Testament we must stop to pay reverent tribute to two great truths which give eternal significance to these ancient books. We have in the record of the division and downfall of the Jewish nation the first instance in human history where the god did not go with the land. In earlier days each tribe and nation had its own particular deity or set of deities, and when a man transferred from one country to another he, of course, changed gods. Naomi urged her two beautiful •daughters-ln-law to go back to their own country after their husbands had died of starvation. A Missouri farmer grew a brack-load of tur nips from a dime’s worth of seed. Breaking even like that iS better than hundreds do.—Kchmond Times-D ispateb. A number of people are assuring the coun try that the dollar still contains 10 dimes or 20 nickels. The problem Is not change, but ex change—Virglnian-Pllot. Vice President Gamer has refused a f2,600 check for a magazine article. We pubh'sh this merely to inform a good many Arsons just who is vice president—Dayton Daily News. President Roosevelt is no different, from the rest of ns. "^He has rdatr*es Ruft don’t l&e hy,~ » NOTES'FBOMB ‘ „“THB HIRED MAN’S” SCRAR BOOK’ p By J.
